Twelve member walkers and two visitors made an early start to the drive to the Ringlands Narooma Circuit: a pretty and varied walk, popular with club. The walk began with a 1.5 kilometre trudge up Flying Fox Road until turning off to amble along the waters edge of Wagonga Inlet from Shell Point to Flying Fox Bay.

Our walk was mostly uneventful except we did attract the attention of two fenced Maremma dogs, keen to protect their free ranging chickens, prior to leaving the road. While we were enjoying our morning tea a friendly seal started waving to the group. Some of us were a bit surprised at the number of oyster beds along the way, though we were uncertain about whether their number had grown or whether they were simply more visible due to the low tide.

We lunched at Picnic Point on Ringlands Bay, seated on a large fallen log overlooking the waters. By time we reached the small remnant of rainforest with its two large fig trees, we were super glad of the shaded cool it provided. From there it was, thankfully, only a short walk back up to our cars for our tired, but happy walkers.
